I've just received my FREE e-book from Oxfam on the Climate Crisis: what it is, why it's happening, how it affects us all and what I can do about it. Sign up here and find out what it means for you. https://t.co/kMYdsUcc8F

@labourlewis Consider the climate and nature bill. I am continually thinking of David Attenborough telling us the remaining wilderness of the world was 66% in 1937 and is now 35% in 2020. Act now please!

Jo would have been 50 today. We have missed her everyday since she died.

Her murder is a reminder of where hate filled politics can lead. Her life was testament to the positive potential of politics.

Today we are taking the kids (indoor) skydiving to celebrate her in style.

The economic system has conditioned people to believe that they are divorced from the biosphere,
& fully dependent on the 'economy',

... without explaining that the 'economy' is fully dependent on the biosphere!

The snap election announcement has caused me 36 hrs of intense soul searching.

Whilst my heart tells me to stand again, there being so much unfinished business across local regeneration and national issues which are important to me, my head knows this to be impossible at this time. It would be difficult to withstand the rigours of an all-out election campaign, a campaign that I’d always wish to lead from the front. Thereafter, upon being re-elected it would be difficult for me to sustain 70 to 80 hour working weeks which were the norm prior to my illness. 

I had hoped to phase my return to the House of Commons over the coming months as my abilities improved. Since leaving in-patient rehabilitation a month ago my life now revolves around various medical appointments. I face numerous future operations as a result of the serious sepsis that I suffered which very nearly took my life. I have only just started the prosthetic journey and I have weekly physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions.

I had the most memorable appearance of my time as an MP at this week’s PMQs: it was emotional and the experience quite surreal. I shall never forget it. I had expected it to be the start of my return. It will, however, be remembered as my last hurrah.

I will now campaign to raise awareness for, and particularly the early recognition of, the onset of sepsis. If this results in the saving of one life or the prevention of the type of disablement that I have suffered it will be a worthwhile campaign. I will also do all that I can to ensure that multiple limb loss amputees get the right prosthetics at the right time to ensure that lives can return to as close to normality as possible.

To be elected to the House of Commons is a rare privilege of life. 
I thank my South Thanet constituents for placing their trust in me across three General Elections.

Tom Bradby, "There's a black hole in the public finances"

Joel Hill, "The IMF think the pressure on public services.. Whoever forms the next government is going to face a £30 billion fiscal black hole"

"This could be plugged with tax rises.. The government could reverse the National Insurance cut it made.. Or charging for a range of public services"

"Whoever wins the next election will end up spending much more than they are telling you they plan to spend"

Hi @UKLabour easy solution, tax the rich and super rich

I've just signed the petition calling on @Everton to drop their new sponsorship with online betting site Stake. These companies fuel gambling addiction which can ruin lives, @Everton should not play a part in that. Will you join me? https://t.co/iGm8MVsixK via @38_degrees

If any politicians are finding it difficult to know what to do about the Human Rights Act, I and @yo_segal made a film for @EachOtherUK which explains it in 2 minutes

[emma freud 💙 🔴 @emmafreud]

This 90" film was made by Richard Curtis's ethical pension campaign to show what most companies are funding behind our backs..
.. for every £10 you put into yr pension, £2 is linked to deforestation. Maybe time to insist on an ethical one? @MMMoneyMatter #DeliverTheTruth #plsRT

[Make My Money Matter @MMMoneyMatter]

£300,000,000,000. ​

That’s how much UK pension money is in companies linked to deforestation 💰 ​

That's a LOT of money, and it belongs to YOU 👋 ​

We’re working to bring this down. Want to help? Sign our petition today.

A huge step towards a net zero economy was made today thanks to @EmmanuelMacron, @MikeBloomberg & Mary Schapiro who continue to bring the world together. Open and accessible #climate data is a critical next step for #GFANZ—providing accountability for the net zero transition.
